You know, it might be cool here in Australia right now, but I would still eat one of these in a heartbeat.
Melon popsicles were one of the things that I loved when I visited Japan. There was a little package of them that came with six melon pops – three green and three pink, with the flavours of honeydew and watermelon. They had little chocolate chips as ‘seeds’, dusted over the melon slice; dark chocolate chips for the watermelon, and white for the honeydew.
They are one of the first treats that I bought while I was over there, so they kinda hold a special little place in my heart. As a result, I just had to make my own little take on melon popsicles in Second Life!
It is no secret that I love creating virtual food in Second Life. There’s just something about recreating something that is already perfect, in a way that makes them even more mouth-wateringly delicious.
I am so insanely happy with these macaroons that you would hardly believe it. Looking at them seriously makes me want to go out and find some in real life right this second, because they just look so damn tasty!
There are twelve macaroons to collect, each one with a classic flavour and three options for the filling… everyone loves variety, right? Well, you get the choice of chocolate ganache, raspberry jam and the ever-classic cream!
Teleport to Sanu today to grab a macaroon… or twelve. Don’t forget, they’re transferable too – so they’re perfect for sharing with friends!
Sanu in Second Life: Tasty, delicious, yummy peapods! I absolutely love fresh peas, don’t you?
It’s a day for a Sanu update, because I’ve been neglect in anything on this blog for a couple of weeks due to my tonsillitis and flu. Urgh… being sick just sucks.
First up, as you can see above, are some yummy little peapods!
Sanu in Second Life: Nothing screams summer fun like some cute flats in pastel shades, don’t you think?
Next up… some fun summer flats. It is actually winter here in Australia, but in the states everything is sun and sand at the height of Summer! Therefore, I just had to do some summery releases.
Sanu in Second Life: Who can stop at just one pair of flats? Are you rediculous? Here’s some more, with flowers!
Annnnd I couldn’t just stop at one style.
Sanu in Second Life: Actually… I couldn’t even stop at two styles of these cute, summery shoes. They’re just so cute and fun!
I couldn’t even stop at two. I mean, who can say no to cute summer footwear? A girl can never have enough shoes in Second Life.
Sanu in Second Life: A second series of tiny butterflies… because you can never have too many butterflies at stunningly small proportions!
Moving on, I had to do up a second series of tiny butterflies. Fun colours, a variety of attachment points, and just as cute as can be, the second series are a great addition to the first. Each series comes with fifteen butterflies, so there are now thirty that can be collected!
Sanu in Second Life: And for the final Sanu update today: Tiny dragonflies. I felt I just had to extend my tiny insects range!
For the final Sanu product update for today: tiny dragonflies. I think I want to go through and do up a whole range of tiny insects. I know a lot of people think that they are gross, but at the very least, butterflies and dragonflies are a sure favourite with a variety of people. I’m thinking that ladybugs might be next, or even (although I realize they are not insects) snails. I’ll just have to see how I am inspired when the time comes!
That’s all for the Sanu update today – some of these items are not yet at the mainstore, but are at Summer Bazaar. They’ll all be appearing at the mainstore within a couple of days, however.

Phew! It has been a rather long day, really… running around, buying obscure Japanese and other Asian candy, finding melon mochi, and getting scolded for (yet again) buying something where the package doesn’t explicitly state what I’ll find inside (it had grapes on the packaging, somewhere… surely whatever is inside is somewhat grape flavoured, one would hope). The hubby has come up with this silly rule that I’m not meant to buy something when I don’t actually know what it is.
I, for one, think it makes life interesting.
Ok, so you might end up throwing away bits and pieces. Basil Seed Drink, for example, is not for everyone (it said on the package what it was, so I was allowed to get it… I still haven’t gotten up the courage to try it though). Isn’t that the point though? You try something… you see how it is… and even if you throw it away, you’re that much more experienced because of it.
At the very least, you have a great story to tell somebody in how absolutely weird and not-so-wonderful this random food item was. Worth the investment? Provided you’re not blowing a fortune on food whose packages can only be interpreted in another language… I think so.
Sanu in Second Life: As if a summer skybox wasn’t enough… here’s one to celebrate Spring. It even comes with flowers, because we all know that flowers are fun!
And now for the Sanu update! I thought that there was really no point in doing two separate posts, so I’m rolling them both into one today.
This is my latest skybox – a Spring themed piece designed to match nicely to the Summer Daydreams Skybox I released a while back. You know that I’m going to have to do Autumn and Winter now that I’ve done both a Spring and a Summer – it just makes sense! That may have to wait for another day though.
Kat Johnston sketch – it’s rather amazing what a few lines can turn into… connect them up, colour them in, and what do you get? A face!
Another day, another lunch. I think I’m in the mood for some cruskits, topped with some tuscan salami and some fresh, juicy tomato, sprinkled over with a touch of salt to draw out the sweetness of it… then perhaps a slither or two of delicious, firm Australian feta, or a few salty green olives stuffed with pimento.
I love food. I love even more the describing of food, as if the tasting of it were but one part of the entire experience. The way the mouth can water with anticipation, with deep and abject desire to take a bite out of even the most common delicacy… mmmmm. Even the most basic food can become to seem as one fit for the gods.
The way teeth slice through the flesh of a fruit, experiencing that first burst of flavour as the juice splatters onto the tongue, rending chunks with such childish glee as eyes slip closed in sweet reverie… that just begins to describe an apple. Apples are one of those things I cycle back and forth with – taking some time away from to approach again, only to learn over and over the simple delight of consuming either red or green varieties.
But I will not fall into a death-like slumber, no: I have no evil step-mother to name of, nor anyone I am aware of who would do me such justice as to kill me with a fairy-tale fate. Would my sweet prince come to free me from the prison of my body? Would my husband’s lips free the chunk of apple, so that I may breathe again unhindered?
